The search, now in its third day, also involves an RAF rescue helicopter and specially-trained search dogs.

Mr Cunliffe, from North Yorkshire, is believed to have walked into Corrour Bothy, in the Larig Ghru pass on Wednesday, January 18 and was intending to keep hillwalking for the next two days before returning home.

He is described as being 5ft 10in, a slim build and balding. He was wearing a blue waterproof jacket and black waterproof trousers and was carrying a large black rucksack.

Anyone with information, or who has met Mr Cunliffe in the Cairngorms since Wednesday, is asked to call Aviemore Police on 01479 810222.
